Dear Friends,Please find here the translation of the words of the Parkhomov paper presented on January 29 in Moscow. I hope somebody will help me/us with combining the text with imagesand show the paper in the initial form.MY COMMENTSa) It is not much new data here, however it is a confirmation of an essential confirmationof the Lugano test- the reactors give excess heat over 1100 C.b) Parkhomov has opened a new way in this research:-- while the Lugano testers have measured the heat of the reactor directly and the reactor cannot be cooled, Parkhomov measures the heat indirectly introducing an intermadiary heat transfer surface. Simple and bright idea of engineering, it can be accomplished in many variants, just a problem of creativity and expertise. This includes the calorimetry method toothat has to be continuous for very long duration.c) Parkhomov's reactors must be improved as regarding resistance- a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate collegiality.Alexander Parkhomov can celebrate today his 70th birthday with a great satisfaction of a well done research job. Bravissimo, I think this is understandable in Russian too.Peter

Study of the analog of high temperature generator of
Rossi. New results.

Alexander Georgevici Parkhomov.

On the basis of the report regarding the work of the high
temperature thermogenerator of Rossi in
Lugano it can be supposed that this
reactor is in fact a simple ceramic tube in which it is charged nickel powder
with added LiAlH4 10% of mass. For the initiation of the process the tube has
to be heated to temperatures of 1200-1400 C.

Based on this supposition it was made the device
discussed in this report.

The design of the reactors used

The reactors were made by Al2O3 ceramic tubes with outer
diameters of 10mm and inner diameters of 5 mm.

On the tube it is wound an electric resistance heater. Inside
the tube it is 1 gram nickel plus 10% LiAlH4. A thermocouple is in contact with
the outer surface of the tube. The ends of the tube are closed with heat
resistant cement. The same kind of cement covers the entire surface of the
reactor.

The photography of the reactor prepared for the
experiment.

Measuring the released heat

The method used by the experts for testing the reactor of
Rossi with thermal vision is a bit too complex. In our experiment we have used
the measurement of the quantity of evaporated water.

This method was elaborated and verified in many kinds of experiments.

The reactor is inside a closed metallic vessel. A part of
the water is removed in form of steam. Measuring the loss of water, using the
known value of evaporation heat (2260 joules/kg) it is easy to calculate the
heat.

The value of the heat loss through the thermal isolation
is calculated based on the cooling speed of the vessel after closing down the
reactor.

Image of calorimeter without cover.

The inner vessel with the reactor has a massive (heavy)
cover

It is immersed in water introduced in the outer vessel. The cylindrical thermo insulation
has a cover made of foamed plastics-on this is put the Geiger counter.

The reactor during working time
The covers are taken down- see the thermo insulation and the vessel with the
reactors.

The reactor in thermal insulation of corundum
powder

The reactor is closed in corundum powder poured
into a metal trough. This allows to reduce 2-3 times the power necessary to
heat up the reactor however the functioning in this regime is less stable than
in case of the “naked” reactor.

The components of the setupUp from left to right: amplifier of the signal of thermocouple with a power
regulator, computer recorder for temperatures and counter speed of the Geiger
counter, a device measuring the rate of the Geiger counter.

From left to right below: ammeter, power supply reactor, voltmeter, electronic
meters "Mercury", switch power supply.

Power consumption supply and control system.

During the first experiments the electric supply for heating the reactor was
taken directly from the mains using thyristors

Later used changing transformer windings. Switching both manual and
automatic with using the controller that controls the signals of the
thermocouple.
This allows us to provide continuous operation of the reactor at the given
temperatures thus improving the stability of functioning of the reactor.

For measuring the used electric energy we have used the electrocounter
"Mercury 201" (?) that allows the transfer of the information to the
computer, also from the voltmeter and ampermeter.
.
Control of the radiation level.

Top- Geiger counter SI 85

Down- dosimeter DK-02

For the registration of neutrons we use a foil of Indium immersed in the water
of the calorimeter. for measuring the activity of indium we use two Geiger
counters. The impulses of the counters are recorded by a specialized computer.
The same computer records the impulses of the recorder put above the reactor
and those of the counter of electricity (consumed)

Modification of the temperature during the
process of heating.

Experiment from 20.12.2014

The 1000 C degree level was obtained after 5 hours of heating

On the same diagram is shown the counting speed of the Geiger SI-85; this
counter reacts to the alpha. beta, gamma and Roentgen rays. It can be seen that
during the entire process of heating the values cannot be distinguished from
those of background.

It was not observed any increase of the
radiation dose during the process on the dosimeter Dk-02 in the limits of the
measuring error. (5mR)

itwasnoobservableactivationoftheindiumfoil)

Here it can be seen in more detail the modification of the temperature with the
magnitude of heating near to 300, 400 and 500 W. It can be observed that at
unchanged values of heating, the temperature is increasing stepwise, especially
strongly in the last part.

At the final part of the highest temperature it takes a place an oscillation of
the temperature. This end with ceasing of the heating due to overheating
(burning)
of the heater. After this during 8 minutes the temperature is maintained at the
level of 1200 C and only after this starts to decrease sharply. This shows that
in the reactor it is produced heat during this time at the kilowatt level
without any electric heater.
Thus it can be seen already from the heating curve that the reactor is able to
generate much heat above the electric heating.

Determination of the released heat.

Determination of the released heat and the COP based on the example of the
experiment from 20.12.2014

At temperatures of 1150 and 1200-1300 the heat released from the reactor is is
much greater than the electric energy consumed. During work in these regimes
(90 minutes) it is generated about 3MJoules or 0.83kWatt hours energy. Such energy
is released at burning 70g gas.

ATTENTION This is new,

Modification of temperature during the heating
process. Experiment from 18.01.2015

At the start of the experiment
the reactor is in air on corundum supports. The maximum attainable temperature
with 450W is 900C. After this the reactor was covered with thermal insulation
of corundum powder. At a constant power of 160 W the temperature increased from
600 to 1000C. After this it has worked for 38 minutes at a temperature near to
1080 C. When we tried to increase the temperature the heater burned out.

Determination of the released heat and the COP
on the example of the experiment from 18.01.2015

The calculation was done for two regimes of work
at 800C (reactor in air) and near to 1080 C (reactor in corundum powder)

At 1080 C the heat released from
the reactor is significantly greater than the energy consumed.

Reactor with fuel
Reactor with electrical heating

In these two comparative tables there are shown the results obtained in the
performed experiments. The reactors with fuel mixture of Ni +LiAlH4 are
compared with reactors with no fuel. At temperatures under 1000C the ratio of
consumed energy to released energy for both reactors without and with fuel is
near to 1.

Significant excess heat for the reactors with fuel can be observed only near to
1100C or above.

Problem uncontrolled local heating effects

The main problem is the short working time of the reactors connected with destruction
due to local overheating.

Local overheating leading to the destruction of the reactor.

Conclusions.

Experiments
with the analogs of Rossi's high temperature thermal generators , charged with
a mixture of nickel and lithium aluminum hydride, have shown that
by heating of temperatures of 1100 C or higher the produced energy is greater
than the energy consumed.

The level of ionizing radiation during the functioning of the reactor is not
observably greater than the background radiation. The density of the flux of
neutrons is not higher than 0.2 neutrons/cm2 s

The Russian http://www.lenr.seplm.ru/ - the standard one for LENR- has not yet published the papers presented yesterday and some inaccessible video is there that leads to an site dedicated to oil- quite complex.However till I can read the papers here are for some LENR news and ideas. Removingthe obstacles was also suggested by Mats Lewan.

1) An excellent review of what has happened recently:LENR-to-Market Digest -- January 30, 2015

I am very curious to guess/know which substance will become the standard,common hydrogen source in the commercial Hydrogen-Metal Deep Interaction- based energy source say 10 years from now. Brian is right, LiAlH4 is nasty stuff.Rossi also warn about safety at Hot Cat tests.

This paper is by the bright Dave Pollard; I will not ask ;"why the ecologists are not our best friends but our worst enemies?" Instead of this I will try out how could we bring them in our camp. So far being ecologist is a means to save Nature and not an aim per se, they will come.

Thursday, January 29, 2015

In recent posts on the WEB, I have made some recommendations to the reactor builder in which I identify various “secret sauce” candidates that might be LENR active in various reactor heat ranges. This post explains the theory behind those recommendations.

For example, my recommendation for potassium as appropriate for a LENR reactor in the intermediate operating temperature heat range such as the E-Cat is based on the following thinking. First as background, the alkali metals are the chemical elements found in Group 1 of the periodic table. The alkali metals include: Hydrogen (H),Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (RB), Cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).

Next, the "secret sauce" mechanism of Rossi fame, is based on the production of nano particles from a condensing plasma.

The alkali metals including hydrogen will produce Rydberg matter. This mechanism is one that produces nano particles.

In addition, other theoretical possibilities include the elements like sodium, beryllium, magnesium and calcium as ones that will also produce Rydberg matter as nano particles. I would stay away from beryllium because it is very dangerous when ingested.

For example, Magnesium and Calcium were detected in the fuel load in the TPR2 test.

In short, the secret sauce is any element or chemical compound that will produce nano particles when heated.

The reason why this nano particle formation will happen depends on the lone electron in the outer most orbit of the atom. When the atom is highly excited as will occur when the element newly condenses out of a plasma, this electron will tend to orbit at extreme distance from the excited atom. A collection of these atoms will aggregate together and are connected and held together in a solid crystal by these outermost electrons that orbit on the outside of the entire particle as and electron cloud like comets that orbit the sun and planets at the extreme edge of the solar system in the Kuiper belt.

These particles do not replace the nickel micro particles but greatly supplement them in SPP soliton production. The nickel particles are required to produce a coherent quantum mechanical environment to activate activity in the nano particles.

The nano particle must be free floating in the gas envelope of the reactor so that they may aggregate freely together in clumps of many nano particles. These clumps come together under the action of mutual electrostatic attraction produced by dipole vibrations on the surface of each particle caused by heat.

Each particle has a plus side and a minus side that align when the particles come together.

Just having a pile of immobile metal(nickel or palladium) nano particles in a large pile are not effective.

The gas envelop need not be pure hydrogen. On the contrary, the envelop gas may be any one of a number of dielectric gases such as oxygen, hydrogen/oxygen(OH), or chlorine or combinations thereof. Nitrogen is a LENR poison, and so is deuterium.

Even water condensing out of a plasma will form solid nano particles. Even noble gases like helium and neon form nano particles under certain conditions, but argon is a LENR poison.

There may be many chemical compounds that will form LENR active nano particles. I believe that Randel Mills has done extensive work over many years to identify these nano particle active compounds that he calls catalysts. A LENR reactor builder will be well served to read and become familiar with the list of catalysts identified by Mills.

Each element or chemical compound has an optimal heat range that will best produce abundant nano particles. Lithium, for example, requires a high temperature to vaporize. Therefore Lithium is effective in a high temperature LENR reactor configuration. Potassium has a lower optimum heat range and is more suited for intermediate temperature reactor operation. Cesium has the lowest vaporization temperature, so cesium will be well suited for a low temperature reactor. Cesium will not work in a high temperature reactor because cesium will never produce nano particles from condensation from plasma in that high temperature situation.

Aluminum might work as a LENR catalyst producing nano particles from condensing vapor in a reactor at 2000C as in a reactor meltdown.

Dear Readers,Many things happen today in the realm of LENR: At Moscow a meeting with presentations by Parkhomov, Andreev (see his slides translatedin a separate post) and a theorist.It is Yu S. Kapysov: "Cumulative process to overcome the Coulomb Barrier in the cold transmutation of the nuclei.

Abstract: During E-CAT test run some hidden and unknown energy is being coming out in the form of heat energy in large
quantity. Based on the principle of conservation of energy and from the well known nuclear fusion and fission reactions it is
possible to guess that, the E-CAT hidden energy may be in the form of binding of protons and neutrons of the Nickel and
Lithium atomic nuclei. By considering the nuclear binding energies of 58
28 ,
62
28 and 7
3
an attempt is made to understand the
energy liberation mechanism in E-CAT. With reference to the net energy production of (5825 ± 10%) Mega Joules liberated
from one gram Ni of the E-CAT’s 32 days third party test run, it can be suggested that, for every transformation of 58
28 to 62
28
via 7
3
, liberated heat energy is 3.64 MeV and for one gram of 58
28 liberated energy is 5984 Mega Joules. For each
transformation of 58
28 to 62
28 via7
3
, 3 hydrogen atoms can be expected to be emitted. Note that, energy liberated for one gram
of 58
28 in cold fusion is 1.66 MWh and energy liberated for one gram of 235
92 in nuclear fission is 22.6 MWh. Clearly
speaking, energy released in Nickel based E-CAT is just 13.6 times less than the energy relRossi speaks about the testing of the 1MW plant and confirms that this entire year is dedicated to it.Rossi is happy with the Parkhomov replication:http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/01/29/rossi-parkhomov-work-good-thing-for-all/What I find unusual (euphemism) is the long and deep silence of the Testers from Lugano:http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/01/29/rossi-parkhomov-work-good-thing-for-all/Their reactor has resisted 32 days- Parkhomov reactors have a high mortality due to overheating, he probably needs some better ceramic materials etc..From Vessy's blog.Will LENR plunge the world in a global recession?http://www.ecat-thenewfire.com/blog/lenr-plunge-world-global-recession

This morning I have asked Alexander Parkhomov if his presentation will be published today? He answered politely and rationally that the second presentation that of 29 January will be the more detailed and the publication comes only after this. That's tomorrow guys! However when it is about web search, my model is the Inevitable Man- I am fighting to solve the problems. I judged that there are bloggers in Moscow and some of them had participated at the presentation. So I Googled for "а.г. пархомов” "last 24 hours" and I have discovered a 2 hours video in which he describes his device- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTa3uVYuvwgit is quite clear but I will report you about it later- in meantime, nice surprise my Northern European friend David Nygren (LENR Forum) has discovered the up-to-dated report of Parkhomov that is discussed now LENR-land-wide and I have translated the most interesting part of it. The report, a honest, professional fine work- the comparison of reactors with and without fuel is great- and he can repeat these any time.I had a mixed feeling seeing so many reactors destroyed by overheating , it is much intelligent work invested in them however what hell of energies are inside!

We will have much to discuss these days, captivating things.i let here my raw translation (done after going with my wife to shopping) and I will ask you to go to see Frank Acland's two Parkhomov papers of today and the report with images at E-Cat World.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.(Joyce Meyer)LENR in RUSSIAToday, Tuesday presentations by Parkhomov and Andreev and for Thursday by Parkhomov and Samsonenko. Nothing for tomorrow, Thursday is no Russian LENR day? Yes it is too! I have discovered a very interesting conference to be presented in the frame of the Information system "Scientific seminars in Moscow http://seminarium.narod.ru/

28.01.2015 RAN UniversityA.I Laptukhov: "The structure of the free electron, the electron-nucleus forces and the electronic energetics of the future"In the paper it is reviewed the structure of the free electron and of the electron with point-like nuclei, then examined the atoms with such electron- ions nuclei (enuclei). The energies emitted at the formations of such nuclei are thousands times greater then the chemical energies and this is the basis of the non-dangerous ( green, ecological) energy source of tomorrow. Specifically, this energy is manifested in the many processes which are called LENR. a semi-classical theory is presented regarding the theory of electron-nuclei interaction in the volume of the electron and this is used for explaining the very "strange" results obtained at the testing of the reactors of Rossi.

As far I know other theorists ignore or repel this very 'otherwise nuclear' theory of Laptukhov.

I think it is natural to try to learn more about it. The readers who want to join me in this search, can start by Googling"Laptukhov" and "lenr " or "Лаптухов" and "LENR"- they will make interesting discoveries. I try to get in touch with this scientist.OTHER LENR ISSUES

Monday, January 26, 2015

Preparing for an interesting week. The main event is ...two, the presentation of the progress in the Parkhomov incandescent Hot Cats confirmation of the Lugano experiment tomorrow and Thursday. I think every rational reader is aware that in case the results are repeatable, the testing time could be extended and the excess power is as high as hundreds or thousand Watts per gram nickel- thenwe have arrived rigorously to the much desired certainty. However it is a start not an end because the world, and first of all the nuclear scientists are not able to explain what, how and why it happens. However the most important is that it should happen, in a way that will force the most ferocious skeptics or CF/LENR deniers to shut up.Great expectations.

Piantelli, Nichenergy, our MFMP colleagues- still a complex situation. But I have seen more complex ones solved.

The paper tells about the problems of hot nuclear fusion unable to make a breakthrough even after 60 years of funding. The present scientific politics in nuclear issues is criticized- as well as the oppression of cold nuclear transmutation.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. (Calvin Coolidge)

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. (Jim Rohn)Today is Sunday- this morning we have not many LENR news and there no great chances for any surprises. the LENR world has great expectation for the next week, first t all from theParkhomov reports on January 27 and 29, but also from MFMP, Brian Ahern and many expected or/and unexpected surprises- to use benign and malign oxymoronsAs news for this morning we have a report Report from Cold Fusion 101 at MIT (Barry Simon):

ABOUT DISCIPLINE IN LENRDiscipline as life organizerLife is a value per se, however in order to live efficiently and to enjoy life you need a lifer organizer. This refers both to your personal life and to your professional life- these lives being, in part superposed. It is a human right, but one not everywhere respected to choose the life organizer you want, but in many places religious observance dominates people and is the collective willpower stronger than the individual wishes. For long years the dictatorship of the Party has organized my life mainly by a well organized scarcity of food and other resources so I had spent much time trying to get food and to solve problems with solutions taken as granted in "normal" countries. Any life organizer good or bad imposes a conformity - a certain discipline.In my professional life that started in the chemical industry working with very dangerous-poisonous, corrosive, explosive nasty substances, I was put in situations similar to those of an airplane pilot or a high war acrobat - both will not do a second error. It is a bit of hyperbolization in this, however HCN and COCl2 are names of entities with which I had a few encounters- and any substance gaseous, liquid or powder that burns is able to explode. When you see how easy people are wounded, crippled or killed - you decide to be as disciplined as possible.I am using the word "discipline" here as describing a set of rules that rule a behavior or an activity and that have to be strictly respected- however discipline includes something superior and essential- learning. Discipline is a mode of thinking, of acting and of living. This is especially true for a professional seeker of truth and value, for the researcher.

Discipline and related virtuesDiscipline starts with understanding of the value of time. The aphorism writer Valeriu Butulescu (discover him on the Web if you don't know him already!) calls punctuality "the smaller sister of discipline"; there are no results, no order, no effectiveness, no efficiency and no reliability still the time factor is not introduced in all the equations of your life and till you do not learn to respects both your time and the tie of others.Order, love of order- a good taxonomy, logical consistency, creative system thinking Discipline- the politeness of kings, the soul of business, the backbone of any research project...It makes team work possible and is a sine qua non condition of leadership. However of interest now is discipline in research.Discipline is also education, teaching, school, exercise, science, knowledge and sometimes military discipline- a problem of life or death.Discipline is not routine, it is intelligent when it is genuine. Routine is passive and leads to aging, while discipline is pro-active, creative- a source of vigour. Discipline creates progress and- disciples.

The popular but perfidious hypocrite false cousin of discipline.

Discipline, as such has to be disciplined and moderated- so many as necessary not less (dangerous!), not more (useless). Sometimes, bad concepts become too popular and are used and abused- not only when it is the case but in any circumstances.Reading, listening radio and TV in the three languages I am using daily I am increasingly frustrated by the very high frequency of a wording I bitterly dislike: "with humility" in English, "cu umilínță" in Romanian, "alazattal" in Hungarian. There are shades of difference but the trend is the same - we have to look with humility to the past, to nature, to the models of any kind, to the authorities - official or in science, to the unknown, the mystery. Humility is perfect in religion but outside it is intellectual auto-mutilation, is a factor diminishing courage, initiative.Humility is for discipline like Uriah Heep for David Copperfield.Lack of arrogance, knowing you limits..but no humility, never- dignity is vital.When the most strict discipline is not enoughIt is a major trouble when even the perfect discipline in research is not enough for reproduction or even production of the desired results. This is the case of PdD wet experiments- as discussed most recently following the "R- problem must be solved" thread. The sad truth is that even the most rigorous discipline does not help. the system is not manageable.I have learned- for chemical engineering fro practice and for LENR mainly from Piantelli the outmost importance of the 'parametric discipline"- find all the relevant and actionable parameters and establish the optimal values for all.For PdD this does not work, we don't know the parameters or cannot measure them or they are not actionable.NOTE we will discuss the problems with Project Fedora tomorrowPeter

Yesterday evening, Yuri Bazhutov has informed us that:"The research regarding Plasma Electrolysis is continuing and this process is considered as a possible alternative to the Rossi warm E-cat, not the Hot Cat where the energy density is huge.The target productivity is of the Russian E-Cat is 1MWatt.hours per 1kg of water the present results are only 2-3 kWatt.hours from 1kg common water. The main task now is to perform a demo experiment for a public of students too, with heating alkaline water in the Thermostat without evaporating it in the fume hood as a more ecological variant."I will try to keep you (Readers) up-to-dated with this innovative technology and will try to get answers to your questions.2) MEDITATING 'AROUND' ICCF-19

MOTTO-1

“You can judge a researcher by the size of the problems
he tackles” (Anthony Jay)

adapted from today's Gapingvoid Art that states:

“Anthony Jay once said something like "You
can judge a leader by the size of the problems they tackle."

Size for a research problem as LENR - placed at the far right of the Medawar Zone is a very complex quantitative and qualitative concept including wickedness and Volatility-Uncertainty-Complexity-Ambiguity etc. A great problem needs great bold new ideasMOTTO-2"Realize that if you have time to whine and
complain about something then you have the time to do something about it."

Touché! Does "this" Anthony does speak about me too? I feel a bit being guilty- not the meek New Paradigm supporters will inherit LENR!

Apropos, Anthony, Antonio - ICCF-19 will take place in Padua - the town of Saint Anthony. First, thinking about this, I remembered when I still was helping my wife with a a musical culture contest (question from the history of music) I was able to answer a very difficult question: " A musical composition and a famous painting on the same religious theme were composed and, respectively presented in the same year,The solution is "Saint Anthony preaches to the fish(es)" - Gustav Mahler's "Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt" – St. Anthony of Padua's Sermon to the Fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmjMpRoZ9Qand Arnold Bocklin's paintinghttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:B%C3%B6cklin_Der_Heilige_Antonius_1892.jpgwere created in 1892.Both demonstrate that Saint Anthony was a good speaker and a real democrat, preaching to fishes means you indeed believe in equality.I have met San Antonio of Padua in hundreds of thousands of copies in 2003 when visiting it in 2003 together with two friends, both called Paul at the kind and generous invitation of a technologist genius friend from my PVC years living there.. The streets of Padua are simply wonderful; I was a bit confused due ti the mercantile affairs connected with the Saint, but tourism is a business, I have to understand that tourism is great business, and..basta! It was a nice travel but the sad thing is that both Pauls, one two years older and the other 12 years younger than me, died of cancer in the next two years.So, at ICCF-19 we will meet Saint Anthony and he will help us; he is the saint responsible for the lost things his job is to give them back to the good people.His direct representative is no coincidence) Antonio La Gatta the CEO (Chief Event Officer) of ICCF-19.What has LENR lost and what can you and the Conference bck to us , caro Antonio?The hope for a working technology? The intellectual pleasure of understanding what happens- both great vision and deep detail? The courage of sayind a decisive NO to what is impossible? The extase of confessing that we went in a wrong direction and the boldness to try a new one? The power to change?

Let's listen together to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uXhccnLvbk but please keep in mind that even the best saints are educated to help exclusively problems solvers and you cannot build a brand new technology based on miracles- you have to cope with ever situation including this LENR.3) Biased Saturday LENR lectureThe dedicated LENR workaholic has today a lot to do, he can explore the two Russian Nuclear Transmutation Reactions & Ball Lightning conferences reading the abstracts and using Google Translate (and the on-line dictionary Russian to English) for the papers of special interest- start from:

The most dramatic problems caused by climate
change are more than 15 years away, but the long-term threat is so serious that
the world needs to move much more aggressively — right now — to develop energy
sources that are cheaper, can deliver on demand, and emit zero carbon dioxide.
The next 15 years are a pivotal time when these energy sources need to be
developed so they'll be ready to deploy before the effects of climate change
become severe. Bill is investing time in this work personally (not through our
foundation) and will continue to speak out about it.

I think only Bill Gates or some team that has already received fubds can answer now. Great expectations.b) An improved theory paper:The Hypothesis of Micro Acceleration Mechanism for Nuclear Fusion E-Cat Reactor — 2nd Ed. (Fedir Mykhaylov)

c) My friend AXIL has a decisive contribution to the New Paradigm of LENR. I can only admire his encyclopedic professional culture in physics and his continuous exploration of the New, the new we need- because something is missing for the understanding of LENR.This comment of AXIL is a fine example:

We can manipulate the waveform of a stationary subatomic particle using a phase mask to increase its energy up to the speed of light. This process uses the theory of relativity to convert the stationary subatomic particle into a spread-out waveform with lots of energy applied against the size of the waveform. The size of the elementary particle as defined by the extent of its waveform is increased by time dilation where energy is increased by extending the tail defining the waveform of the elementary particle to satisfy the momentum conservation laws. In quantum mechanics, waves and particles are considered to be two aspects of the same physical phenomena. We can modify the properties of a subatomic particle by manipulating its waveform.

In a time dilation tradeoff, the lifetime of the elementary subatomic particle is lengthened to increase the energy of the particle.

The key to this manipulation of the waveform is the Phase mask.

The specially prepared nanometer sized dimpled surface of the nickel micro particles in the Rossi reactor serves as a phase mast to accelerate stationary particles to a ultra high energy wave shapes in the particle's frame of reference but the particle remains stationary in the reactors frame of reference.

In nanoplasmonics, it is the dark mode surface plasmon polariton that absorbs infrared photons. So the “hole” / photon hybrid of the dipole must be the subatomic waveform that is being modified to light speed even when it is embedded inside that nickel lattice of the surface of the micro particle.

One question that was hanging in the magnetic theory of LENR causation was how a strong magnetic field could be produced by an irregular surface, I have just become aware of a potentially new spin (magnetic) amplification process that fits in well with the magnetic theory of LENR and helps explain how a properly formatted nano surface feature on a metal surface could lead to LENR.

A beam of electrons rotating in a highly constrained vortex can have the strength of their spins multiplied by hundreds of times. These vortexes are produced by a surface mask where the waveform of the electron is modified by constructive and destructive interference.

Just like a dipole where a vibrating electron is always paired with a hole, and every vortex has two ends, paired SPP has bright SPP paired with a dark SPP. It is the Dark SPP that is both magnetically and LENR active.

For example, the wavelength of infrared light is about 700nm to 1000nm. If the vortex that the Hole/light hybrid is circulating around in is 1 just nanometer, the spin of the SPP is multiplied by 1000. A dark mode Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) with a spin of 2 will have an effective spin of 2000 if rotating in a dimensionally small SPP vortex.

In addition as described above, when the tail of the waveform of the electron or hole is expanded by the time dilation energy uncertainty principle trade off which accelerates stationary subatomic particles to the speed of light, even more spin multiplication will occur, how much...a lot.

These two new quantum mechanical principles of condensed matter subatomic particle waveform manipulation can now explain where the huge strength of atomic level magnetism comes from.
